----------
First, Carrier Detect is a signal from the modem to the PC, not
the other way around. Second, the serial hardware isn't what it seems to
be or you have chosen ports 3/4 without specifying the proper IRQ for them.
This is discussed at length in the documentation accompanying MSK and I
recommend you have a look at it as well as at the serial board in the
machine. Remember, there can be no conflicts about IRQ or port addresses;
else things simply do not work.
